    What's the shortest turnaround PJ has had for a surprise show announcement & show time?

    McCartney just dropped this around noon time for Brooklyn (AND Jack White is playing down the street).

    Love how it's being executed - no advance sales, box office only. 10C only would work too, ala The Vic.

    Regardless, we need more stuff like this:


    This is Manhattan 
    Sorry, forgot The Bowery was in... The Bowery 🤣

    I tried to manifest one at the 2012 SiriusXM Town Hall.  I made sure my friend and I were in the last group to take our picture.  Ed put his arms around our shoulders.  After photo I asked him:

    "So Ed, where's the secret show tonite?  You're all here, in Studio X with instruments?"

    Ed: "Ummm, ummm, I uh, I uh, I got a dentist appt in the morning, yeah...a dentist appt"

    And he was gone in a flash

    Wow. Thanks. But I am going to see Jack White tonight. Luckily, I have seen Paul twice before. Never in such a small place. But he is amazing.

    Jeez. I remember when Pearl Jam tickets were only $23.00.
    $50.00 to see an old guy, What a rip off.

    Funny I listened to the Vic yesterday. 1400 people all belting out In Hiding. 1400 people with all 10c tickets, maybe a couple dozen vips but a true 10c show. Man…
    It was frustrating, but such a thrill trying to buy ten club tickets back then on the Pearl Jam site.
    I looked up the fan views last night, and well well well you were one of the reviewers. Super jealous. I remember I was in the middle of packing up all my stuff for my first year of college and sat on my laptop to get tickets. Then started mapping out a roadtrip to Chicago to try to get in, which I didn’t. I remember people on here saying tickets were being scalped for $500. In 2025 I would do that in a heartbeat. What a show
    I believe it was 48 hours between announcement and sale. It was nerve wrecking for all. Can’t believe I was fortunate enough to purchase tickets. I seem to remember Tim commenting they sold out in less than 30 seconds.
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    I've been tracking these McCartney shows very closely, and missed tickets on Tuesday (took the subway down from midtown as soon as I saw the announcement - too late).  Couldn't get yesterday, and was planning to go tomorrow AM if there was a sale tomorrow.  Didn't expect the Friday show to go on sale today.

    Here's what I've observed:
    1) 85 tickets sold per show / 1 ticket per person.
    2) Tues show tickets onsale around Noon.
    3) Wed show tickets onsale around 10 am.
    4) Friday show tickets onsale today around 1 pm.
    5) Only reason they took 15-20 mins to sell out is each transaction was in person w/ cash.
    6) No show tonight.

    Prediction: EV plays tomorrow w/ Sir Paul.  Hide Your Love Away / I've Got a Feeling / Imagine

    PS - Bowery is the best venue in Manhattan.  I've seen too many shows there to count and some have been absolute all-timers.  Most recently The Killers last year.  It was ELECTRIC.

    As far as I know, Ed has never played the room.  I'd sell a kid to see PJ there.
